A conservation charity said it was excited after a "rare" blonde badger was filmed in the countryside.

Essex Wildlife Trust shared footage of the unusually coloured animal on social media, but would not reveal where it was spotted to avoid members of the public potentially disturbing it.

The trust's protected species manager, Darren Tansley, said: "They're so rare. I see badgers from time-to-time, but they're always the normal colour - this is a one in 10,000 thing that you're going to spot.
